June 17, 2003 - Progressive left ventricular (LV) remodeling and poor LV function following myocardial infarction (MI) are associated with increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, according to the ...

DENVER, CO—For patients receiving optimal medical therapy, stenting a chronic total occlusion (CTO) does not provide a boost in either regional or global LV function, the REVASC trial shows. The ...

To distinguish the two groups, you really need to see the echocardiogram and the measurement of LVEF. "That doesn't preclude that these medications could have a longer-term benefit—maybe the ...

Renal denervation not only reduces resistant hypertension but also decreases left ventricular (LV) mass and improves diastolic function in patients with hypertensive heart disease, according to a new ...

heart ecg Early exposure to diabetes mellitus (DM) or higher insulin resistance (IR) has an adverse effect on left ventricular (LV) remodeling and function, according to research published online in ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, improved left ventricular function and quality of life in patients with HF ...

We recently developed novel software to measure phasic strain rate (SR) using automated one-beat real-time three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) with high volume rates. We ...

Patients who experienced clinical but not echocardiographic response to cardiac resynchronization therapy experienced significant improvements in left ventricular diastolic function in a recent study.

"This study showed that RV function, including RV strain, decreases over time despite preserved LV ejection fraction, and is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. RV function may be more ...

Cardiac MRI scan FGF23 levels may be associated with lower LV systolic function, higher LV mass, and lower LA function. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels may be associated with lower left ...
